Greece's Hidden Paradise: Saronis Sea View Bliss (Happy Place Awaits!)
Greece's Hidden Paradise: Saronis Sea View Bliss (Happy Place Awaits!) - A Messy, Honest Review
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the beans on the Saronis Sea View Bliss. This isn't your polished travel blog post, this is the real deal, warts and all. I'm talking honest opinions, messy structure, and maybe a few tangents. Prepare yourself!
First Impressions: The Good, the Okay, and the Uh-Oh Moments
Right off the bat, let's talk Accessibility. If you're rolling in a wheelchair, bless your heart (and plan ahead!). While the Facilities for disabled guests are listed, the actual implementation is fuzzy. I saw an elevator, and the website says it’s wheelchair accessible, but I'd call ahead and double-check. Don't get caught out!
Arrival was smooth. Contactless check-in/out? YES PLEASE! After a long flight, the less human interaction, the better. They had a little Concierge desk, and I'm pretty sure the guy inside knew every nook and cranny of the area. Super helpful. They even offered Airport transfer, which, after the jet lag, was a godsend.
What's Actually Inside: The Rooms & Amenities
Let's get personal, room-wise. I had a Non-smoking room (thank goodness!) and it was…nice. Clean, well-lit, and thankfully, had Air conditioning. Oh, and the Internet access – wireless was decent – Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!, woohoo! I ended up using it a lot because, frankly, I got hooked on the On-demand movies. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day of… well, existing.
The bed? Extra long bed – a definite plus. You never know when you need a little extra wiggle room. Bathroom was standard but had a hair dryer, which, let’s be real, is essential. They also provided bathrobes and slippers. Nice touch. But I must admit, the bathtub was tempting, even though I'm more of a shower-person.
The Sea View Bliss: That View… and The Pool!
Okay, the view. THE VIEW. Seriously, that's the reason for the "Sea View Bliss" in the name. It's stunning. From my balcony, I could see the sun setting over the Aegean Sea every evening. It really is something special. Worth the price of admission, I'd say.
Swimming pool [outdoor] was the star for me. It was a Pool with a view. You get to swim with a view of the sea. How awesome is that? It was so refreshing after a long day. I will say, some of the kids were very enthusiastic… but overall, it was a great place to spend a couple of hours just chilling in the sun.
Food, Glorious Food (and Drink!)
Alright, now for the good stuff. Restaurants! They had a few options, the main one being the A la carte in restaurant. The food was pretty good, a nice mix of International cuisine in restaurant and some local specialties. Don't miss the Greek salad – simple, but perfect. The Bar was a cool hang-out spot, perfect for a Happy hour cocktail or two. And the Poolside bar? Brilliant idea!
Breakfast [buffet] was included, with a decent selection of both Western breakfast and some Asian breakfast options. I’m a sucker for a good omelette, and these guys did not disappoint. They even offered a Breakfast takeaway service, which was perfect for those days when I was feeling extra lazy (which was most days!). I would also like to point out the Coffee/tea in restaurant option. Great addition!
Cleanliness & Safety - A Breath of Fresh Air (Literally!)
This is important, let's talk safety, especially nowadays. The team was very serious. They have Hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE, and the place felt spotless, thanks to their Daily disinfection in common areas and Professional-grade sanitizing services. They take it so seriously. I didn't see any of that careless "brush-it-under-the-rug" attitude. They were also using Anti-viral cleaning products. That's a plus! They also had Staff trained in safety protocol, which makes you feel safe.
Things to Do (Besides Just…Existing)
Honestly, I spent most of my time just soaking up the sun and the view. But, if you're feeling spry, they have a few options! A Fitness center/Gym/fitness and a Spa, which has a Sauna, and Steamroom for some serious self-care.
I did take a dip in the Spa/sauna, which was delightful. You know, just melt away all the worries, stresses. They offer various Body scrub and Body wrap, but I honestly didn't manage to try it. Next time!
The Perks & Extras: What They Did (and Didn't) Do Right
- Room service [24-hour]: Perfect for those late-night snack attacks.
- Luggage storage: Handy if you arrive early or leave late.
- Cashless payment service: Easy peasy.
- Doctor/nurse on call: Always a good thing to have.
- Family/child friendly: Saw many families but the place still managed to stay peaceful.
- Kids facilities are not available but the place still is kid friendly!
- Car park [free of charge] & Car park [on-site]: Very convenient.
The Minor Quirks (and a few gripes)
- Internet access – LAN: I honestly didn’t try this, but it was listed, in case you need a hardwired connection.
- The lighting could be brighter…: Okay, maybe a little nit-picky, but the lighting in my room was a little…dim.
- A few extra plugs wouldn't hurt…: It's a modern world. We have devices. We need charging stations.
Overall Verdict: Would I Go Back? OH YES.
Look, the Saronis Sea View Bliss isn't perfect. It has its quirks, but the view, the pool, the overall vibe… it’s just lovely. It’s a place where you can truly relax, unwind, and recharge. If you're looking for a chill getaway with fantastic views and a generally pleasant experience, this is definitely worth considering. Book it. Seriously.

Luxury Bintaro Escape: Anwa Residence's Stunning Studio Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to head to the (hopefully!) Happy Place Sea View in Saronis, Greece. This isn't your perfectly curated Instagram feed; prepare for a travel diary that’s more "warts and all" than "filtered to perfection."
Day 1: Arrival & Almost-Disaster
- Morning (Chaos Central): Landed in Athens, which was already an experience. Let’s just say the passport control queue was a masterclass in passive aggression. My optimism level plummeted faster than the prices on those "duty-free" perfume bottles, which, by the way, were shockingly expensive.
- Mid-afternoon (Rental Car Rodeo): Finally wrestled our rental car out of the airport. (Side note: Greek traffic rules seem more like guidelines, and I’m pretty sure my driving skills max out at “avoiding potholes while simultaneously yelling at my GPS.”) The drive to Saronis was "scenic," mostly because I was too terrified to look at anything else. We actually got lost. I mean, properly, spectacularly lost. "Are you sure this is the Happy Place?" I whined at my travel companion (who, bless their heart, didn't murder me in that moment).
- Late Afternoon (Happy Place… Ish): Found the Happy Place. It's… charming. The view? Stunning. Like, jaw-dropping, makes-all-the-stress-melt-away kind of stunning. BUT… the "sea view" room? Tiny. I'm pretty sure my luggage takes up half the space. And the air conditioning? Sounds like a dying walrus. I want to run away, but the balcony smells like sunshine and the sea, so I'm torn. Also, I'm pretty sure the mosquito population is having a convention in our room.
- Evening (Taverna Temptation & Greek Salad Salvation): Dinner at a taverna down the road. The food? Glorious. Seriously, the Greek salad alone was enough to justify the entire trip. Simple, fresh, and the feta… oh my god, the feta. Got a bit tipsy on the local wine (it's a crime how cheap it is!) and ended up chatting with some locals who tried to teach me some basic Greek. Let’s just say I have the vocabulary of a toddler, but I am pretty sure I can now order a beer. The night ended with me accidentally kicking over a chair while trying to do a silly dance. Good thing I am clumsy.
Day 2: Beach Bumming & Existential Crisis on a Sun Lounger
- Morning (Beach Bliss & Burn): Okay, the beach is as beautiful as the promotional pictures. Clear turquoise water, soft sand… pure heaven. Spent the morning baking in the sun, which was a mistake. I am officially a lobster. Also, sunburns are my enemy.
- Afternoon (Lounging & Thinking Too Much): Spent what felt like hours on a sun lounger, letting the sun melt over me, it was bliss for a moment. But my brain, of course, couldn't just turn off. Started pondering the meaning of life, the fleetingness of time, and whether I really need a third pair of sandals. The answer, by the way, is always yes to sandals. The sea looked so perfect. It felt like a balm on the soul.
- Late Afternoon (Coffee & Souvlaki to the Rescue): Found a little cafe, sat there and ordered a coffee. The Greek coffee was strong enough to raise the dead. Ordered a souvlaki from a street vendor, it was pure heaven.
- Evening (Sunset Spectacle & Cocktails): Watched the sunset. It was spectacular. Honestly, the sunsets here are worth the price of admission alone. Cocktails on the balcony. The kind of cocktails that make you feel a little bit drunk and incredibly happy.
Day 3: Island Hopping Detour & Overwhelming Beauty
- Morning (Ferry Fun & Failed Planning): Decided to do an island-hopping day trip. Booked a ferry. Or thought I booked a ferry. Turns out, I booked the wrong ferry and almost missed the actual one. Thanks to the helpful (and extremely patient) ferry staff, we made it by the skin of our teeth.
- Afternoon (Idyllic Islands & Crowded Coves): The islands were breathtaking. Picture-postcard perfect. Spent the day wandering through charming villages, swimming in impossibly blue water, and feeling like I'd stepped into a movie. Everything felt so perfect, so idyllic.
- Late Afternoon (Lunch Interlude & Tourist Traps): Lunch in a taverna on the island. Delicious food. Then got slightly trapped in a tourist trap. I was not a fan, felt very uncomfortable by the idea that the shopkeeper was charging me so much.
- Evening (Ferry Back & Exhaustion): Ferry back. So tired that my muscles ached. Fell asleep almost instantly.
Day 4: Ancient Ruins & Tourist Traps
- Morning (Ruins & Regret): Decided to be cultured and explore the ancient ruins of something or other. I'll be honest, the history got a little… lost on me. I'm more of a "look at the pretty things" type of traveler. I should have done more research.
- Afternoon (Souvenir Shenanigans & Overpriced Trinkets): Went souvenir shopping. Got lured into another tourist trap. I fell for the "authentic" pottery, only to realize later that it probably came from a factory in China. But hey, the color is pretty!
- Late Afternoon (Nap & Regret): Passed out. Recovered in the pool.
- Evening (Final Sunset & Goodbye): Celebrated our last evening. The sunset was even more beautiful than the others. It was like it was saying goodbye.
Day 5: Departure (and Sweet Sorrow)
- Morning (Packing & Panic): Packing. The eternal struggle. Realized I've bought way too much stuff. Started questioning my life choices.
- Mid-day (Departure Day): Headed back to Athens. Said goodbye to the Happy Place. It wasn't perfect, but it was real. And I'll miss it.
- Afternoon (Departure): Say goodbye to my companion. Boarded the plane and started to reflect.
- Evening (Flight Home): Flight. Thinking about everything. Tired. The perfect trip.
This itinerary is a messy, imperfect snapshot of a trip. It's full of highs and lows. It's about the actual experiences, the moments of beauty, the moments of frustration, and the genuine emotions that make travel, well, travel. And hopefully, it inspires you to embrace the messiness, the imperfections, and the unexpected joys of your own adventures.
